Organised under the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the European conference Gender Equality & YOU will be dedicated to the future priorities on gender equality in the EU. It will be a space where people of diverse generations, backgrounds and organisations meet and discuss at eye level: young people and youth representatives, Ministers for Gender Equality, political representatives from EU organisations as well as experts from NGOs and public institutions.

During the conference, EIGE will be launching the report 'Gender equality and youth: opportunities and risks of digitalisation' (forthcoming). The report was prepared at the request of the Austrian Presidency. It explores how digital technologies can be used to promote gender equality and what are the gender-related risks of digitalisation for young women and men.

This report is part of EIGE’s work to monitor EU progress towards gender equality in the context of the objectives of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA). The findings are enriched with the voices and opinions of youth from across the EU, providing valuable insights on the topic at hand.

To support discussions during the conference, EIGE prepared a series of six infographics (available under RESOURCES tab), featuring facts & findings from the report. Below you can find the infographics featuring the data sources.
